seriously this is bonkers



A former U.S. lawmaker appears to have duped a freshman congressman's office into organizing a sham “hearing” that aired on Ukrainian television on behalf of a shadowy lobbying client implicated in the Panama Papers leak, The Daily Beast has learned.

Former Rep. Connie Mack (R-FL) reached out to the office of Ron Estes (R-KS)—a freshman lawmaker who won the special election to replace CIA Director Mike Pompeo—to reserve a room in the basement of the Capitol for an event on the Ukrainian banking sector.

As The Weekly Standard documents, the fake “hearing” was broadcast in full on Ukraine’s NewsOne and described to viewers as the “U.S. Congressional Committee on Financial Issues.” But not a single member of Congress attended. The network teased the “shocking details” about the “highest levels of corruption in the NBU,” referring to the National Bank of Ukraine.

Panelists at the event included Sergiy Taruta, a former politician in Ukraine, Oleksandr Zavadetskyi, a former NBU employee, and James Woolsey, the former CIA director under President Bill Clinton who also served as an adviser to President Trump’s campaign. A pamphlet handed out to attendees was evaluated by a Ukrainian fact-checking website as having “mostly correct” data about the NBU but “manipulated in almost all occasions.”

Estes’ office told The Daily Beast that the congressman had nothing to do with the event, and that they reserved the room “as a courtesy” for Mack, who is now a registered lobbyist at Liberty International Group, “to host an event on allegations of corruption in Ukraine.”

An Estes spokesman added that the office policy for booking rooms has been updated to ensure this doesn’t happen occur again. The spokesman also said that from now on, whenever his office reserves rooms in the Capitol for events, Estes will be in attendance.

Mack is a registered lobbyist on behalf of a firm called Interconnection Commerce, which according to Mack’s lobbying disclosure is headquartered in the British Virgin Islands and is focused on “shining a light on corruption in Ukraine.” Besides a mention in the Panama Papers, the firm’s online footprint is nonexistent.

I read an article once about why assault weapons shouldn't be banned and the author literally said along the lines of "you know how little girls collect barbie dolls and accessories and useless stuff for their dolls? Guns are like that for grown men. We're never gonna USE those massive overkill gently caress off weapons, we just like to have them to feel good about our collection! Can't you just let us have that? it's all innocent fun."

I have a gun that's 100 years old that fires a round 2x the size of an assault rifle round

Lol at thinking 5.56 is overkill when it's not even a rifle round

if the shooter was smart he would have waited until the estate tax was repealed, seizing his assets is really quite just when you consider how irresponsible he behaved with his money
